VSY, Valdettaro Shipyards, is an Italian builder based near La Spezia producing high-specification custom motor yachts that combine Mediterranean design sensibility with rigorous engineering. A VSY charter in the southern Bahamas around Rum Cay is an unusual and rewarding combination, placing refined Italian construction in one of the Atlantic’s most private cruising grounds.
Rum Cay is a remote island in the southern Bahamas with clean anchorages, healthy coral reefs, and very little charter traffic compared to the Exumas chain to the north. Three VSY yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean region, each offering accommodation for between ten and twelve guests with professional crews of four to six.
Weekly charter rates for VSY vessels in this region typically range from 60,000 to 120,000 euros depending on vessel size, configuration, and season. An advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel for Bahamian passages, provisioning, drinks, and berthing. The Caribbean charter season peaks between December and April, with January and February being particularly popular for Bahamas itineraries.
VSY yachts are distinguished by their sleek Italian profiles, their use of quality materials in the interior, and their attention to the ratio of outdoor entertaining space to overall vessel length. In the warm, calm anchorages of the southern Bahamas these qualities translate directly into enjoyable days on the water.
